This volume delves into the study of the world’s emerging middle
class. With essays on Europe, the United States, Africa, Latin
America, and Asia, the book studies recent trends and developments
in middle class evolution at the global, regional, national, and
local levels. It reconsiders the conceptualization of the middle
class, with a focus on the diversity of middle class formation in
different regions and zones of world society. It also explores
middle class lifestyles and everyday experiences, including
experiences of social mobility, feelings of insecurity and anxiety,
and even middle class engagement with social activism. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the book provides a
sophisticated analysis of this new and rapidly expanding
socioeconomic group and puts forth some provocative ideas for
intellectual and policy debates. It will be of importance to
students and researchers of sociology, economics, development
studies, political studies, Latin American studies, and Asian
Studies.
